On this episode of STAGE GROK, I talk with Broadway actor Jeff McCarthy, about playing Officer Lockstock in the original Urinetown, and about his newest project, the musical Southern Comfort. McCarthy has also appeared on Broadway in Beauty and the Beast, Chicago, Side Show, Urinetown, and The Pirate Queen; and off Broadway, in Dream True, Sympathetic Magic, and Southern Comfort.

STAGE GROK host Scott Miller is the artistic director of New Line Theatre in St. Louis, and the author of six books on musical theatre, nine musicals, and the musical theatre blog The Bad Boy of Musical Theatre.
